On February 19, 1985, a UTA DC-10 operating from Los Angeles to Auckland via Tahiti made an emergency landing at Rangiroa following a telephoned bomb threat. Passengers and luggage were removed and flown to Tahiti onboard French military aircraft. The aircraft was searched and no bomb was found. The aircraft was flown empty to Tahiti a week later.[5]
